The 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) marked a significant milestone with the adoption of a resolution proposed by China aimed at enhancing international cooperation on artificial intelligence (AI) capacity-building. This resolution seeks to address the existing global disparities in AI development and implementation.
In an interview with CGTN, Zeng Yi, a professor specializing in brain-inspired AI and AI governance at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, expressed optimism about the resolution's potential. As a member of the UN High-Level Advisory Body on AI, Zeng emphasized that the resolution represents a crucial effort to bridge the global AI gap. He highlighted the necessity of collaborative international efforts to advance AI capacity-building worldwide.
The resolution underscores the importance of shared knowledge, resources, and best practices to ensure that advancements in AI benefit all nations equitably. By fostering a spirit of cooperation, the UN aims to create a more inclusive and sustainable AI ecosystem.
Experts believe that this move could accelerate technological innovation and economic growth while addressing ethical and governance challenges associated with AI. As countries work together under this resolution, the international community hopes to harness AI's full potential to solve complex global issues.
